What is the best blog app to use with Django-CMS? I've been using Zinnia with an older release, but I see that your demo uses the new Aldryn Newsblog app.

I'm looking to do a small redesign along with re-deploying a website with 3.2 but I don't feel like going back and re-theming Zinnia to fit with my new design. Is Aldryn's app a simpler solution?

Zinnia's great, https://developer.ubuntu.com/ uses it for example.

Aldryn News & Blog was created from scratch, fairly recently; if you're using the Aldryn Bootstrap code, it'll all itegrate very quickly and easily.

I would say if you want something that is pre-designed-ish, use Zinnia. If you have a specific design that you need to implement and would prefer to start with a less complicated set of templates, go with Aldryn NewsBlog.
